Cupcake #2

Banana Cream

Today, Trent and I were able to meet up earlier then usual, due to the odd schedules of finals/work and everything. We decided to make macaroni and cheese for lunch. Just as we reached the stage where you put the milk in, we realized that we were out of milk. So Trent offered to ride his bike to Smith's and grab a gallon or two. I decided to just wait at his apartment. While I was there though, I decided to mix up the batter for the next kind of cupcake I had decided to make. It didn't take very long, and the cupcakes were in the oven and I had all the dishes cleaned before Trent got home. We were in the middle of eating out delectable mac & cheese when my alarm went off, signaling the end of the cupcake cooking process. Trent was slightly confused as to what I was doing. He didn't realize that during the time he was gone, I had had time to make a small batch of cupcakes. They actually turned out okay!

I give them a 7.4 on the cupcakeometer :)

Cupcake #1

Strawberry Cheesecake:

So the first cupcake we ended up making was the strawberry cheesecake one. It was Jordan's (Trent's roommate) request. They turned out pretty good.

Everyone's Ratings (10 being the best):

Jordan-8

Trent-7.5

Jamie-6.38

I put vanilla butter cream frosting on them. I think if I were to do them again, I would put a whipped cream frosting on it instead. They were exceptionally sugary. I would also put more cream cheese filling in the middle. Overall though, they are very good :)

My latest quest

For Easter, the Easter Bunny gave me this book. It has 101 cupcake recipes in it (well, actual cupcake recipes is 64. There are 22 recipes on how to do fun, different things with the cupcakes, and 15 frosting recipes). My quest, for this summer, is to try everything though. First, I think I'm going to try Banana Cream and Vanilla Pudding Poppy Seed.
